Rice breeding for higher crop productivity (a review) by G. L. Zelensky, O. V. Zelenskaya

“…A heterotic hybrid of rice was obtained in China with a yield of 13.9 t/ha; it has a new plant morphotype (New Plant Type) and a growing season of 163 days. The hybrid is classified as “super rice”.Modern breeding programs are aimed at producing cultivars of “Green Super Rice” using pedigree methods and backcrossing for introgression of target genes through DNA markers, QTL mapping, pyramiding, and recurrent selection.Russian breeders have traditionally produced rice cultivars adapted to local conditions, with a growing season of no more than 125 days. …”
